Henry Bristow, the republican candi
date for recorder, is a man who is in ev
ry way worthy of the support of the
voters of this, county. He is a perma
.nent resident and property owner. He
, is an excellent penman and an affable,
polite and well educated gentleman and
is the equal of Mr. Watters in every par-
licular.
Jake Chambers has made an excellent
.commissioner, and should be re-elected.
Mr. Alexander, Stand Up!
One potent reason for the present hard
times in this county is the inequitable as
sessments made by assessor Alexander
last year. People are struggling to save
sufficient money with which to pay their
taxes. According to law ail taxes unpaid
on the first of April become delinquent,
but through the kindness of the county
court the taxpayers have had an exten-
tion of time and the sherift instructed
not to force collections. Yet many per
sons have paid their taxes, which has
caused many sacrifices. This is especially
true of the persons who pay taxes on
amounts under $2,500. The property of
such persons is, as a rule, assessed at a
higher valuation than that of persons
worth many thousands, and this latter
class are for that reason, very assiduously
working in the interest of Mr. Alexan
der. The law of Oregon provides that all
property shall be assessed at its "true
cash value," and the constitution pro
vides that "all taxation shall be equal
and uniform.". The question now arises,
Has Mr. Alexander complied with the
law? No. To illustrate how far from
the spirit and letter the last assessment
was made, we will cite for instance: A
house which cost 5,000 to erect in 1892
is assessed at $1,000; another house
which cost in 1892 $4,000, is assessed at
1,000; another house which cost $6,000
to erect in 188S is assessed at 82,20-0. A
man who swears to an undertaking on
surety that he is worth 30,000 is assessed
at $9,500, and one who swears that he is 1
worth 850,000, is taxed on 814,000.
These people are of course trying to se
cure the re-election of Mr. Alexander. A
widow who owns notes aggregating $5,
000 is assessed on their full value. This
unjust discrimination works a hardship
on the honest taxpayer. hy should
money and notes be taxed at their full
value when other classes of property are
assessed at from so per cent, to 50 per
cent of its value? Such a system as
this is a continual temptation to such as
have money and notes to conceal them
from the assessor. Another thing is this,
that a person who owns a small faun or
a small dwelling in town worth from $400
to Si.coo, pays proportionately more
taxes than the rich man whose farm or
residence is worth many thousands.
These instances are proof positive that
the statute has not been complied with
anjj that an unjust discrimination has
been made in favor of the rich and
against the poor.
As was said in this paper last fall, if
assessors uniformly discriminate against
money and notes and in favor of land
and stock and improvements, the natural
result must be that money will not stay
where such conditions exist. That is the
reason why capital will not come to Ore
gon for investment. Money, the most
ticklish of all commodities, is perpetu
ally avoiding localities where ignorant,
captious and pernicious legislation per
mits such conditions to exist. If asses
sors are not intelligent or courageous j
enough to assess visible, tangible property
up to its actual value and give money a
fair chance with other property, then Or
egon need not expect the introduction of
money into the state. Her resources
must needs remain dormant and unde
veloped and she will be bound to lag be
hind her sister states in prosperity and
importance.
Going to Kngland..
The many friends of Miss MauiL. Hoff
man will be pleased to hear of her latest
success. She recently accepted a year's
engagement with Wilson Barrett and
leaves for England the 15th inst. The
company is one of the best in the
country and open a several weeks en
gagement at one of the leading theatres
in London in Shakespeare's tragedy,
Hamlet. She will return with the,, com
pany about the middle of November and
play eight weeks in New York City.
From there they go to Boston and after a
few weeks stay start westward and may
reach this coast next spring. Mr.
Barrett's reportaire includes many of the
heaviest and most popular plays, in all
of which Miss Hoffman will take the
second best part. Miss Hoffman made
the acquaintance of Mr. Barrett at a re
ception given in his honor not long since
at one of the Back Bay mansions in
Boston. "A notable testimonial to Mr.
Joseph Haworth" says the Boston Herald,
"will be given in the Boston Museum on
Saturday evening, June 2. Mr. Haworth
will repeat his recent great success in
Hamlet and he will be supported by a
cast remarkable for its excellence and
interesting features. Ophelia will be
played by Miss Maud Hoffman, the
beautiful artist, who made her debut last
season in this city as Juliet and who has
recently been supporting Willard, the
noted English actor. Miss Hoffman's
many friends in this city are looking for
wari with much pleasure to her first
appearance as Ophelia." Many other
favorable press comments on the young
Webfoot Juliet evidences that she is fast
becoming a great favorite with the Boston
people both socially and as an actress.
That Alsea Plow.
There has been considerable talk by our
Alsea friends concerning a plow that was
promised them and for which they forgot to
call. The simple and true facts of the
matter are that daring the democratic con
vention Mr. W. H. Malone, road supervisor
of Alsea, called upon Judge W. S. H afford
and requested a hill-side plow, stating that
they could use no other kind, and that they
would return a new plow of a different style
in its stead. Judge Hnfibrd promised to
get them the kind of plow desired within a
week and Malone agreed to. call for it
within ten days. The plow 'came to hand
promptly and has been in the warehouse of
J. R. Smith & Co. for a month and now
complaint comes that the judge forgot to or
der the plow, but since the receipt of the
complaint, some of the Alsea people quietly
came over and hauled the cause of all the
trouble away in their backboard and now
we may loook for better roads in onr sister
valley. ;
WAYS THAT ARE DARK.
Peculiar Methods of Osburn
What Shall cur Ver
dict be?
The Times is out again in defense of the
cowardly assault which the Ostium fac
tion of the democratic party is making on
George Smith. The Times and Row
land's answer to the plain, manlv and
business-like statement of the chairman
of our comity central committee, is
about the thinest thing yet seen in the
whole contest. If Rowland and bonds
men were afraid that Smith would
squander his wife's estate, why did they
not get a temporary injunction which
they could have gotten, on swearing to
one-half they are publishing about
Smith instead of waiting until Novem
ber to do it. Does not anyone know
that from May to November is time
enough for him to do great damage to
the estate' if he was inclined to do so?
Does not Rowland and every bondsman
know that they are taking chances of
having to pay the bonds they signed
every moment Smith is allowed to handle
the property, if there is the least grounds
for the suit commenced? Would not
common prudence demand an immediate
temporary injunction?
The whole story about the complaint
of the bondsmen, is either a pure fabri
cation or Rowland has done the silliest
thing on record by not invoking the
strong arm of the law to restrain Smith
immediately. We have not had time to
see but one of the two bondsmen men
tioned who went to get off the bonds, j
Sol King is fighting Smith in the "burnt
woods" with Osburn money, the other
one mentioned utterly denies having
made any complaint whatever. Any
voter who happens to be in town please
call and see what he says about it.
Thomas Eglin was a near neighbor of
Jerusha Smith and her first husband,
Jesse Smith, and knew her well from the
time of her marriage until her death
which occurred some years after her sec
ond marriage, to George Smith, except
ing a few 3'ears while they lived at Crcs
ent City, Cal., where Jesse Smith died.
Jerusha being a daughter of Hainan
Lewis, returned to Corvallis to live near
her people and again became a neighbor
of Mr. Eglin. He says that both Mrs.
Smith and her father told him that her
husband left about 6,000, which she de
sired to loan. This was about the
amount they were known to have ac
cumulated by their industry and Mr.
Eglin gives no credance to the story that
! she had received the money from any
other source. Mr. Eglin is willing to
make an oath to this, but it is not neces
sary until he is called into court, which
he certainly will be for that purpose.
Any voter who may feel interested in this
matter, please call and see Mr. Eglin.
Rowland's statement that he is just
attending to the interests of his ward
without any reference to politics is not
believed to any considerable extent in
this community, and seems to be about
on a par with the statement that a Colo
rado paper was hired to publish and
forward the information that Smith had
kept a theatre there; that a Linn county
paper was hired to quote the item, get
ting out 500 extra copies solely with a
view to disseminate valuable news. And
finally, that enterprising, person from
Corvallis bought up these 500 copies and
carried them all over the county withont
any particular design. It sounds about
like the statement that Sol King left his
farm, took a sack of twenty-dollar pieces
and scattered them along his old trails in
the'mountains, because he wanted to get
rid of the money and had nothing else
to do. It seems to be off of the same
piece as the story that Osburn only re
cently heard of all this and strongly op
posed it It is not consistent with the
assertion that our "opponents deprecate
dishonest methods and general mudsling
ing, and it even contradicts their pet
theory of economy.
Citizens, what verdict shall we render
on such attempts to secure office? Shall
Sol. King triumph against the will of the
people for the second time? Shall vitu
peration, slander and boodle . elect our
county officers? We repeat what this
paper has said before: George Smith is
an honorable, upright business man,
rie nas proven tnis by an eignt years
residence in our midst. Dare Osburn
truthfully trace his own record as far
back?
Consolidated Picnic and Barbecue:
Une 01 tbe hottest campaigns ever
known in Bentou county is nearing a close
and on Monday next the battle will be
fought to a finish with ballots. Iu the var
ious precincts of the county the several
candidate 1 have been urgiug their respective
claims for the suffrage of the voters, and
will finish in Corvallis to morrow afternoon
with a joint discussion in the courthouse
square. The republicans and democrats
have joined together to make tne day one
contiuual round of pleasure. At noon there
will be a barbecue in the courthouse yard, in
which everyone is cordially invited to par
ticipate. The republicans have engaged the
services of the Monmouth band of IS pieces
and the Marine baud of Corvallis will play
for the democrats. At 7 o'clock in the
evening C. G. Hannnm, of Portland, will
speak at the courthouse on the political is
sues from a republican standpoint and at 9
o'clock a grand torchlight procession will
be had. A program under the auspices of
the democratic club will be rendered the
same evening at the opera house. Every
body is invited to come in and spend the
day. The citizens of Corvallis will guaran
tee yon a royal good time.
It is said that many people intend to vote
for Osburn for sheriff because he is posing
as a temperance candidate. If these people
were familiar with the facts in the matter
they wonld vote for Smith. Not because he
is a teetotaler, but because he does not
assume a virtre that he does not possess.
Vote for Irwin.
Salem people are the worst lot of kick
ers in the world when anything is not
run in the way they think it ought to.
They made a most vicious attack on G.
M. Irwin when that gentleman was in
charge of the Indian training school at
Chemawa, just because he did not run
the affairs as dictated by Salemites. He
is now a candidate on the republican
ticket for superintendent of public in
struction and the articles written about
him at that time are now used to defeat
him Mr. Irwin is one of the brightest
men in the state. He has had years of
experience in school work. - During the
last several campaigns he has rendered
invaluable service to the republican party
by stumping the state. His addresses ev
erywhere were listened to attentively
and the press speak of his arguments
and able addresses in the most flattering
terms. Eastern Oregon asked for his
nomination and if he was incompetent or
in any way incapacitated for the place
the party iu that part of Oregon would
not have come to the convention solidly
for his selection. Mr. Reid has had con
siderable experience in school work in
this part of the state, and for that reason
is better known than Mr. Irwin. But in
point of education, literary attainments
or as a public speaker Mr. Irwin is far
his superior. Vote for Irwin and you
will make no mistake.
Mr. Reid and some of his friends are
trying to make the people believe that
it is absolutely necessary to have a state
superintendent whose only ability is that
he can mechanically work in the school
room, and because Mr. Irwin has not
been teaching for the past few years
Reid assumes that he knows nothing
about the work. From the first of May
to- the second of June, Mr. Irwin has
been putting in his whole time making
political speeches ill the interest of the
the republican party. It is to be hoped
that his friends throughout the state
have appreciated his valuable services
sufficiently to allow no injustice to be
done him. He has not been about the
state peddling his cards and putting up a
lot of contemptible jobbery to defeat his
opponent as has Mr. Reid. He is above
such selfishness as working wholly for
himself and has given up his time in
working for the entire ticket, and the
true and tried republicans will not fail
him on Monday next.
Democratic Subterfuge.
To Editor Gazette
How ominous sounds the phrase, "We
long expected suit against George W.
Smith," and again, "The case has been in
preparation for several months," showing
that even the calloused conscience of a
democratic editor can be pierced by an at
tempt to slander a good man for political
purposes. In the name of principle, if the
above phrases were true, why was the case
uoi instituted long ago? No, it is evident
to every thinking republican that the mat
ter was sprung alone for trip purpose of de
feating Mr. Smith, and will fail not only in
its intent to sect re republican vots, but
will cause democrats to vote for Smith who
would have otherwise voted for Os
burn. There was another element entered
into this canvass that, in the opinion of
many, is more reprehensible than the above.
It is generally believed that Sol King is us
ing t very effort to secure Osburn's election.
So long as his efforts are confiued to the
democrats this is rislit for friendship sake,
but wrong in principle. Sol King has been
honored by the republican party as scarcely
any other man in Benton county, and if he
is now working for Osburn it is a betrayal
of spleen unbecoming to a worse man than
Sol King. But this, too, if true, will
prove a failure. It is a poor tribute to re
publican intelligence that they are to
be instructed how to vote by one who was
at one time an honor to the party, but who
now occupies the position of "poor Tray."

The ladies' Corvallis coffee club enter

the assurance of a happy time. The oc
casion of this one was the celebration of the
eleventh anniversary of the club's organi

Deafness Cannot be Cured
By local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased nortion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is by
constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused
by sn inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this
tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed, deafness is the result, and unless the
inflammation can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever: nine cases out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition or tbe mucuous sur
faces. We will eive One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deatness (caused by catarrn) inai can
not be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Bena

OUR NATION'S DEAD.
Memorial Sunday Observed.
Graves of 28 Soldiers Strewn
With Flowers May 30.
Last Sunday the opera house was cro'vded
to listen to the memorial services held under
the auspices of Ellsworth post, G. A. R.,
Ellsworth W.R. C. and Benj. Harrison camp
Sons of Veterans in honor of those brave
men in blue who lost their lives in defense of
th-jir country. A., largo choir, under the
leadership of Prof. Berchtold, rendered sev
eral appronriato selections. Rv. Frank
Abram Powell had been invited to deliver
the memorial sermon and gave a most ex
cellent address. "When the services were
concluded the speaker was the recipient of
many congratulations from members of the
post and camp for his able and fitting re
marks. DECORATION DAY.
A light, refreshing rain Wednesday
morning only made the atmosphere that of a
1 ATI?. . I fi n .
uaaumui spring anernoon lor memorial ex
ercises. Promptly at 2 p. m. the procession
was formed at the corner of Second and
Adams streets, G. A. R. headquarters, right
resting on Second, in the following order:
Marine band; companies "A" and "B," O.
A. C. cadets under command of C. E.
Dentler, U. S. A.; Ellsworth post No. 19,
G. A. R , under command of Commandant
D. C. Rose; Relief Corps, Ellsworth post
No. 19, under command of Mrs J. B. Horn
er; Sons of Veterans, under Capt. Will. II.
Bloss; Epworlh league of the Methodist
church and some 50 little girls and bovs
under M isses Newton and Casto, of the pub
lic school; citizens 011 foot and; citizens in
carriages.
In tli is order the procession moved to the
city of the dead near Crystal lake, where the
G. A. 11. ritual memorial exercises were
held over the graves of unknown heroes of
tins organization, of which twenty-eight
are hurried in Benton county alone, and
were very impressive and appropriate. Af
ter which the various organizations and citi
zens scattered over the home of the dead and
none were forgotten, but all were beautifully
decorated with an abundance of flowers.
The procession then returned to the city and
the various organizations inarched to their
respective quarters.
NOTES.
The O. A. C. cadets did themselves and
their commandant, Lent. Dentler, credit.
This is their first appearance off their own
parade ground this season.
As has been their time honored custom
the Marine band visited the grave of Way
man St. Clair and rendered an appropriate
selection in memory of their departed leader.
All the business houses were closed during
the afternoon in honor .of the day, and the
merchants accompanied their families in
visiting and decorating dear ones' graves.
A great many went during the day to the
Odd Fellows cemetery west of the city.
On Tuesday and Wednesday morning a
committee from Ben. Harrison camp, S. of
V., visited the other grave yards of the
county and also decorated the graves of all
old soldiers buried in each, in memory of
their noble work in times of national trouble,
in the great cause of peace, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness.
EVENING SE3SI0N.
At 8 o'clock a large audience were in
waiting at the opera house where an inter
esting entertainment had been prepared in
honor of the day by the G. A. R., relief
corps and school children, which was opened
by instrumental music, and prayer
by Rev. E. J. Thompson. President
John Bloss delivered a short ad
dress, paying tribute to the flag of red
loyalty, white purity, and blue fidelity, de
signed by a woman, and the emblem of a
land of peace, liberty a-id freedom in the
pursuit of happiness. Mr. Bloss reviewed
the great "gap of the war of 1S61 reaching
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in which are
buried more than COO thousand loyal citi
zens who gave their lives to the cause.
Thirty years' time have healed the closed
gap, and we are one united brotherhood,
and from the very beginning, when our
great-great-grandsires separated themselves
from England, that they might have life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness, we
have been ready to fight for that flag which
proclaims those principles, and we are still
ready to fight for the same principles.
(Cheers.) That flag would be disgraced at
the head of a freight train that had been
stolen." (Applause.)
Mr. Bloss commended the G. A. R. for
their efficient work in times of strife and
trouble, saying that "it was for mothers,
daughters, sisters, wives and sweethearts,
that the boys in blue had courage to go
through their trials to a successful goal, and
that it would be their influence that would
lead the present generation of young men
and boys to eminent achievements and
throuch successful careers."
He also commended the Sons of Veterans
in their work, told them that they knew
"the cost of every fold of the flag they were
loyal to; to foster their pledged principles of
great granasire, grana sires ana "res De-
spoKe by our nag."
There is some talk of scratching, on the
part of republicans in favor of Asa Alexan
der. Such a plan would be suicidal. Alsea
precinct has for twenty-five years given
the republican ticket a handsome majority,
and this is the first time they have been rep
resented on the ticket. If we knife their
candidate after so many years of loyalty to
the party we can expect no favors in the
future. Mr. Hayden has a good education
and is well acquainted with values. There
can be no possible objection against voting
for him, except that he is not so well known
as his opponent on the democratic ticket.
He is as competent, however, and will with
ont doubt make a more equitable assessment
than the one made last year by Mr. Alex
ander.

time to provide yourself and family with a

It has been said that Judge Hufford drew
the bill for the division of Benton county.
This is a mistake. It is, in fact, nothing
more nor less than a campaign lie. But it is
hardly worth while to dispute with liars be
cause they can hatch a lie and set it to
cackling as fast as each one is shown to be
false. Voters will not be deceived by the
statements that have been and are being
made publicly just on the eve of an elec
tion dav.
The only foundation for the lie above re-
. . . '
:erreu to is iiiai a citizen 01 ucnton county
came to Mr. Hufford's office and borrowed
one of his session law books and copied from
it a bill recently passed by the legislature
creating a new county somewhere iu East
ern Oregon. That is all there is in it.
Judge Hufford did not draw up the bill to
divide the county nor have anything to do
with its division. On the contrary, when
a remonstrance was circulated against tbe
division of Benton comity, Judge Hufford,
not as county judge, but as a private citizen
and a taxpayer, signed that remonstrance
and so did his wife. Mr. James A. Cau-
thorn did not sign that remonstrance. Both
of them owned property at Toledo and also
at Newport. Why should they not own
property there? They had been frugal and
industrious and had saved enough money
above their living to buy themselves a home
at Newport, and the property at Toledo
Mrs. Hufford inherited from her father; and
that property was offered fr sale before
the county was divided and has been offered
for sale ever since. All the publio state"
ments that Mr. Hufford had secured prop
erty at Toledo with a view to making money
out of a county seat, is the purest non
sense and absolutely false a lie made out
of whole cloth ami trie.l to he foisted on
voters ignorant of the facts in the cuse just
before the election aud too late to be contra
dicted. Judge Hufford had nothing whatever
to do with raising the salaries of county
judges in the state. Any one knows that
the judges cannot raise their own salaries.
He did not recommend his salary raised and
the eta! enieiit that he did" so is another lie
told for the purpnsn of catching votes for
Mr. Cauthorn. Voters understand why in
terested parties manufacture such lies out of
whole cloth. Simply to deceive voters and
catch voters. Nothing else.
Mr. Cauthorn's name is not on the re
monstrance against dividing Benton county.
The fact is. he wanted it divided. Now he
has raised the question, let it fall on him, as
he deserve.
Mr. Keady's family and Mr. Cauthorn's
family are on the warmest terms of friend
ship. It is evcii said they will soon be still
more closely united by a marriage. Mr.
Keady has large possessions near West Ya
quina and Alsea, in Lincoln county. Mr.
James A. Cauthorn, notwithstanding his
pretentions to hoDesty and fairness to his
creditors, owns or at least did recently own
when this writer last examined the records,
pome property near West Yaquina. Mr.
Keady is now said to be working for West
Yaquina for a county seat. Of course that
is what he wants. It will make his Weft
Yaquina property valuable. Mr. Cauthorn's
property will also be more valuable not
withstanding his creditors. It is obvious,
then, why Mr. Cauthorn and Mr. Keady
wanted Benton county divided. Mr. Huf
ford's name and his wife's name on the re
monstrance, prove the he uttered against
him as seeking to disrupt the county of
which he was judge, but the truth is that
in that hour of the county's need. Mr. Huf
ford was doing all in his power to prevent
the division, while Mr. Cauthorn and Mr.
Keady and Mr. Jeffreys (Cauthi-rn's rela
tive) were conspiring and working har.d in
hand to divide the county. And they suc
ceeded, because the representatives and the
senator sent from Beuton county betrayed
their trust and left the county without any
one to represent it. Now with this inti-

Mr. Hufford did not want the county di

Mr. Cauthorn evidently did want it divided,
and with his friends succeeded in dividing
it.

Closing Kxercises of the Public
School.
With the below interesting programme, the
public schools ol Corvallis will close tonight.
what has been a most successful school year.
Under the capable principalship of Prof. S. I.
Pratt, assisted by a corps of efficient teachers, the
yeat ending June i, 1894, will long be remem
bered by the pupils, patrons and friends as one
of especial advantage to all. The public gener
ally have been well satisfied with the manage
ment of the educational interests of Corvallis
during the past nine months, and fewer com
plaints have been heard from the patrons this
year than usual. The work has been thorough
in all the departments as is evidenced by the
standing of graduates, some 39 in nuber, that
took the regular teachers' examination and aver
aged as a class about 85 per cent. In order to
entitle pupils to graduation it is necessary for
them to obtain even a higher percentage than is
required in ordinary teachers' examinations.
The exercises last evening were commendable to
each participant, and reflected credit upon the
scholars and their teachers alike.
A small admission fee will be charged this even
ing, that some funds may be raised to assist in
defraying the expenses of the graduating class.
The program will be as follows:
1 Music, orchestra.
2 Greeting song, 6th grade.
3 "What we will do," six boys, 1st grade.
4 "Flower Exercise," six girls, 3rd grade.
5 Recitation, "You put no Flowers on Papa's
Grave," by Kthel Bristow, 5th grade.
6 Exercises with Flags, boys ot 2nd and 4th
grades.
7 "Time and the Seasons," 18 pupils, stlt
grade.
